1 G'day,
2
3 My embedded environment is evolving. The Disk-On-Module currently has
4 the following partitions:
5 /dev/hda2 - / - root (ext2)
6 /dev/hda1 - /boot - syslinux boot partition (FAT16)
7 /dev/hda3 - /var - ext2, rw
8
9 The system has a 486 and is running kernel 2.6.29.6.
10
11 Over the past month I've encountered numerous "Stale NFS file handle"
12 errors. The device isn't networked and there's no apparent reason for
13 them (as best I can tell).
14
15 How important is running fsck in an embedded ext2 environment?
16
17 I'm considering
18 1) "fsck -C -T -a" on every boot
19 2) letting fsck run according to the tune2fs count
20 3) using "tune2fs -C 0" to disable checking totally
21
22 When do y'all do and recommend?
23
24 Thanks.
